Thursday Thoughts, March 29th

Today is truly one of those days where I miss my Momma.  She always tried to make my birthday special.  She told me once that when my birthday rolled around she always bought herself a present too because it was a celebration for her too!  But I digress, my Sousin (for those of you that don't have one it is a Sister-Cousin) and I were talking about how things have changed since we were kids.  It was definitely not all bad and there are some changes that I am quite grateful for.  I have some wonderful memories, some that I will be sharing soon, I promise, but some of these things that I experienced my children will never get to experience.  Easter dinner was a family affair, just like Christmas or Thanksgiving dinner.  Family time was different and it didn't seem to take such an effort to go to someone's house and spend time with them.  I am a little further away now, but I am determined to make time to spend with family again.   These are some very special memories for me.  I honestly don't know if my grandmother took the time that I have to take to meal plan or meal prep, but I am thankful for that time with her.  

 Easter is one of those holidays that we seem to forget that Jesus is truly the reason for the season.  We get caught up in talking about the Easter bunny and hunting eggs and such that we forget to share with our children and friends and family the story of the resurrection.  I am so so very thankful that Jesus thought I was to die for...because I don't want to imagine life without Him.  

 My focus has been off this week, to be honest, I haven't prepped meals the way I should and all, but I have been trying to get my steps in most days and have done several workouts with Leslie Sansone using the My Daily Walk app.  Just one step at a time, right?  I am determined that I will be successful in feeling better in my own skin and I'm no longer going to beat myself up for my shortcomings.  No matter what else happens, He thought I was to die for and that means something to me.

Picnic in the Park Collab

 S’mores Protein Bites Recipe You can find the original recipe  here  from Six Sisters' Stuff.  The one below is the way I prepared it. Ingredients 1½ cups Simple Truth Old Fashioned Oats ¼ cup crushed graham cracker crumbs ½ cup Simple Truth almond butter ½ cup raw honey ¼ cup vanilla protein powder (I used Orgain Vanilla Protein Powder) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ½ cup mini marshmallows ¼ cup mini chocolate chips Instructions Combine all ingredients in a bowl or stand mixer until well combined. Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place on a baking sheet covered with foil or parchment paper. Place in the freezer for about 1 hour, then store in a resealable bag or airtight container in the fridge for up to a week (or in the freezer for up to a month). This original recipe says 15 servings.  I am not sure if I used a smaller scoop but I came out with 25 or so.  There were a couple that were smaller.

Meal Plan (and make a plan) Monday, April 27, 2025

Happy Monday, friends!  I hope you are looking forward to a good week!  It's time again to share my meal plan for the week.  I suspect breakfasts will be fend for ourselves.  Last week, I think we all ate a lot of cereal.  Lunches this week will likely be chicken salad and a pasta meal.  I, unfortunately, got hit with a round of vertigo at the end of last week that is wrecking havoc on my ability to move too much and it stinks.  I will be going back to what the allergy doctor suggested a couple of years ago...using my daily oral meds (Xyzal and Mucinex), as well as nasal rinse twice a day and nasal allergy spray.  While I know that vertigo for everyone isn't caused by the fluid in the ears, it seems to be for me most times when I've had it.  It's miserable when I can't even sit up without feeling nauseous. Anyway, for that reason, our meals for the week are going to be relatively easy and may even be repeats of meals I have had on the plan th...

What's Cookin' Wednesday: Hungry Man Cornbread

  This recipe was my Mom's recipe that she submitted to the PTA years ago when I was in elementary school.  The recipe books were mimeographed and stapled together.  Hungry Man Cornbread (original recipe from memory) : 2 packages of cornbread mix (she used Martha White), prepared according to the package. 1 pound of ground beef, browned (usually with onion) American Cheese Slices Prepare your cornbread according to the package.  Brown your ground beef with onion, if desired, and seasonings of your choosing.  Prepare a 9 X 13 inch pan.  Pour half of your cornbread mixture (or if you prepare them one at a time, put one package of cornbread mix, prepared) in the bottom of the pan.  Top with your ground beef mixture, then top the ground beef mixture with Cheese Slices.  Top all of this with the other half of your prepared cornbread mix.  Cook on 400 for about 20 to 30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
